BiographyBorn in Kilnaneave, Tipperary in 1883, Haugh gained his early boxing experience while serving in the armed forces. His first recorded professional fights were on 30 March 1909, winning two fights on the same day. On the 9th of June 1913, Dennis defeated Sid Ellis at the National Sporting Club, knocking Ellis out in the first round to become the very first British Light-Heavyweight Boxing Champion. However, the National Sporting Club did not award the winners during this period with a title belt. Dennis went on to defend his championship twice in the same year when he defeated both Hawker Wilson at the Opera House in Cork and Dan Voyles at The Ring, Blackfriars Road, Southwark, London. On the 19th of January 1914, he defeated the former British amateur heavyweight champion Dick Smith in a points decision.[1][2][3] However, Haugh lost to Smith in a rematch on the 9th of March 1914 in a 20-round points decision where he continued to box despite breaking his left forearm in the 9th round. The winner of this bout received the newly created Lonsdale Belt.[4] Haugh boxed professionally until 1916. He continued to box in military contests, and fought in the finals of the Humber Garrison contests in October 1918.[5] Dennis died in 1959 in London, England. His nephew John Haugh won All-Ireland Senior Hurling titles with Tipperary in 1951, 1958 and 1961. See also
